ABOUT ABOUT

This program is being offered as a hybrid program.  You may attend either in person or on Zoom.

Join Liveroof Midwest for this presentation on bio-solar roofs.  After 4 years of R & D, testing, study and analysis of university research, this presentation will focus on the merits and feasibility of an emerging Bio-Solar Roof technology, whereby green roofs and PV arrays are combined in synergistic fashion, featuring a 2024 Case Study Bio-Solar installation in Michigan.

Affiliates of LiveRoof Global, LLC, a North American leader in vegetative roof technology, will present positive research outcomes when vegetative roofs are combined with photo arrays, such as increased output of roof PV arrays along with an improved environment for roof flora and fauna. With urban environments getting hotter, energy becoming more costly, Bio-Solar Roofs are more relevant than ever.

Learn how to transform a hot, impervious, traditional commercial roof top into a beautiful ecosystem that mitigates urban heat accumulation, compensates for habitat loss, absorbs storm water, provides a positive biophilic response, while also generating electricity, enhancing power resiliency and creating jobs.

This program is worth 1 HSW.  Lunch will be provided for this who attend in person.  For those who attend on Zoom, you must attend the full session in order to get AIA credit.  If you leave the Zoom meeting early, no credit will be reported.
